Hey, is anyone actually doing zero touch and staging, end-to-end in real life? Like pre-configuring devices, assigning policies, apps, everything before the user even touches it. Sounds great in theory, but feels like one of those things that looks clean in docs but messy in practice.

Yeah, we do something close to this. Not fully “hands-off” though. Zero-touch is doing most of the heavy lifting for us, but we still stage devices internally first. If you skip that step and push straight to users, you’re basically testing in production.

Honestly, the QR code for bulk enrollment made it a lot easier for us. We just used the same QR code on all devices one after another, no need to track which code goes to which device or anything like that. Devices get enrolled right away, policies kick in, and we just assign them to users later. Works fine with Active Directory when the user signs in.

One thing we did run into though, app installs can mess things up. If something fails in the background, the device just looks half-setup to the user. We started adding some basic scripts and checking logs during staging just to catch that stuff early.

Yeah, that makes sense.
